This hasn't been a defense. You've not offered a single criticism, alternative perspective, or insight about whether web applications should be file handlers and what doing (or not doing that) means for the web as a whole. You aren't arguing ineffectively -- you're not even arguing. If suggestions really are welcome, I suggest you argue, but I have a feeling where this goes: the "other side" doesn't have ideas worth legitimizing through discussion and it's already been exhausting enough.

This is nothing but verbal abusive about people you associate with an idea you hate because they offered criticism against a specific idea around how the web and browser might change.

And you're ready to be violent about it?

Are we really talking about a potential web browser improvement here?



For context:

> The web is already ridiculously feature-bloated. The scope of it is reckless. The madness of adding new features to a browser for every little use case needs to end.

This is what I was replying to. There's no arguments here either. This is emotional manipulation against a growable web. It's zeal & negative energy, concentrated.

> Having a thick interface between your files and websites is a feature, not a bug.

This is you mr-wendel. This is what I am arguing is wrong. I see no arguments to argue with. I just see bias and negativity. You wanted to define the web as a small narrow thing. You made no assertions no arguments. But such anger, such negative energy feels enormously trendy & popular recently.
